Sheriff: Jealousy a factor in fatal 19E crash
By Nathan Baker
Carter County Sheriff Chris Mathes said the woman who crashed her sedan in October, taking the lives of her two children and later her own, was chasing the children's father after a confrontation outside an Elizabethton drug store.
Mathes said Katrina Nye and Robert Moffitt, parents of 2-year-old Dalton Moffitt and 7-year-old Jonathan Nye, were seen by witnesses in a heated argument outside the CVS drug store on U.S. Highway 19E, where Mathes said Moffitt, Johnny Hensley and Keri Baird purchased pseudoephedrine intending to make methamphetamine.
"What we know is they went into the CVS to buy pseudoephedrine, the mother pulls up with the kids, they have an altercation because he's meeting another woman and then they take off up the road," the sheriff said. "She was upset that he was meeting with another girl, she was enraged, and that's why the crash took place."
He said Nye lost control of the Ford Taurus and crossed over the median in Valley Forge, striking a minivan traveling in the other direction.

Personlig färg / Personal colour
How to mix your own personal colour! I made the whole familys colours by using the birthday date as a cmyk-code. I chose c=DD, m=MM, y=YY, k=00 in the colour slide in Photoshop. Any other picture editor program will work too. I used k=00 ( no black) to get bright colours.

Tygväskor med tryck / Fabric bags with print
A slutade på sitt skogsdagis, och har börjat i fritids inför kommande skolstart i 0.an. Som tack till den fina personalen på dagis gjorde hon fina textiltryck på bomullstyg, som jag sydde tygväskor av. De gjorde stor glädje hos mottagarna, och jag hoppas de kommer till användning. A var superduktig på att hitta på rätt motiv till varje lärare, som passade precis. Som tur var det inte farväl, utan på återseende, då L börjar hos dem uppe i skogen efter sommaren!
A had her last day in her forestkindergarten, in order to be starting in school in 0.grade after the summer. She made nice fabric prints for all her wonderful teachers, that I sewed bags of. She put a lot of thought into each print, to fit the teacher recieving it, and they got very happy. Luckily enough we didn´t have to say the big goodbye, as L will be starting there after the summer!

Treasure Boats - the Exhibition!
Once upon a time we were asked by BIGKidsMagazine if we could make some boats for them. And so we did, kids from near and far built their ships and sent them out on a long journey, all the way to Australia. On their way they met sharks and pirates, but all survived the thrills and came safe to the destination, apart from one that apperently sunk in Davy Jones' locker.
These ships were carrying treasures only kids can find. Gold for homeless kids, plastic diamonds, pipe cleaners, a pair of new scissors and pearls for mom. They sparkle and shine, just like the kids that built them.
Now the new issue of BIGKidsMagazine is finally out in the shops, and we are sailing in it! The magazine is sold in Australia in these shops, and can be bought online here. It looks like an issue filled with treasures, and I am looking forward to holding it in my hand.
Thank you everybody that took part of this great adventure and built a boat. But now, ship ahoy, let's sail away on the seven seas!

We thought the inside of the milk bottle was shining as a treasure, so we put it inside/out and left it open so the boat could contain the treasure: sweets. In the house and in the garden Samuel found several treasures: two candles (left since Christmas), a piece of the broken red watering can and three screws. Samuel wanted the treasure boat to be red (he said with sparkling eyes) and he decorated it himself. It also needed wings (he said with conviction!) While he was painting, he was looking for the letters he could recognize on the old newspaper that protected the table. We had
the idea to cut some out to write the boat's name. "Trésor" for Treasure, in French.

She is currently a sophomore at SUNY-Geneseo. Go Blue Knights!
"Yode to Yolato"
O Yolato, Yolato!
Why are you so grand?
I hold your white cup
In my excited hand
I am a fan of plain
However, peach is good too
I like you with fruit toppings
But only just a few
How is it that you're tasty?
And also good for me?
Yolato, you're delicious
I can't stop at two or three
When asked if I've had enough
My answer is always 'No'
Other people just don't get
My love for Yolato
Yolato, you are there for me
When others are not around
If I ever were to drop you
I'd eat you off the ground
I am an empty soul
Without you in my life
If Southside ran out of spoons
I'd eat you with a knife
Yolato Bars Delivered to your Door!
Can't Find Yolato Frozen Yogurt Gelato Bars Locally?
Yolato's Endless Summer continues!
Yolato Coconut has arrived....
Yolato brings the tropics to your senses with its latest flavor. Full of deep layers of Coconut and fond memories of days spent at the beach. Hey, someone pass the sunblock!

Celebrate Educators on National Teacher Day 2013April 30, 2013 | Matt Davis
National Teacher Day is May 7th! There are so many different ways to show teacher appreciation, from poems, to thank-you notes and gifts. But I thought I'd put together a little bit of everything. Here, there are inspirational teaching quotes, fun video clips, and a database of educator discounts, to name a few.
But these are just a couple of ideas; let us know how you're celebrating this year. Here's one from the Edutopia vault: last year's Five-Minute Film Festival for Teacher Appreciation Week.
- Quotes about Teachers: At the end of the year, maybe this thought makes the most sense: "When all else fails, pray for a fire drill." Even so, there are plenty of reminders here of just how appreciated teachers are.
- Ideas and Activities for Celebrating National Teacher Day: The National Education Association's page provides ideas for celebrating in class, in the community and with the local education association. Along with this resource, you can also nominate teachers as Classroom Superheroes.
- PTA Thank A Teacher Contest: Do you want to honor a teacher dedicated to the Common Core? Well, the PTA wants to help, and they're offering $500 to local parent-teacher associations to host teacher appreciation luncheons.
- Teach for America Teacher Discounts Database: This is a one-stop-shop for teacher discounts. Not only does the database feature discounts at popular retailers; there's also links to tuition forgiveness programs, educator grants and other benefits for teachers. Another great blog from Best Colleges Online highlights 100+ stores that give teacher discounts.
- Larry Ferlazzo's Funny Teaching Film Clips: Edutopia blogger Larry Ferlazzo highlighted some humorous teaching clips suggested by readers on his personal blog, and there are some really entertaining videos here. Another blog, Best Places to View Teachers in the Movies, also features some really great clips. So if you're feeling under-appreciated, there's plenty here to put a smile on your face.
- Teachers Must Appreciate Their Own Nobility: Alright this one is from 2010, but Vicki Davis, who pens the Cool Cat Teacher Blog, makes a great point in this post. It's the end of the year, you're probably feeling a bit of stress, and ready for it all to be over. But Vicki offers some advice and words of wisdom to finish the year on a high note and appreciate the nobility of being a teacher.

Asking for rental trouble
With his tie-breaking vote last on a low-income rental home project, Mayor Mark Eckert effectively put yet another nail in Belleville's coffin. In a town where property values continue to plummet, the mayor in his infinite wisdom approves yet another low income rental development. One would need only look as far the reunion development on Illinois 159 to see just how well this is going to work. He claims this will be made available for sale in 15 years. Get real. After 15 years they will be fit for demolition.
New leaders needed
It's bad when a sheriff from another county has to keep his investigation into the death of a St. Clair County judge a secret from St. Clair County officials because he was worried about corruption. This is another reason it's time to make drastic changes in St. Clair County.
Another buddy hired
Political favoritism continues. It's not surprising that former Madison County Treasurer Frank Miles was hired for the $85,000 a year job as executive director of the Granite City campus of Southwestern Illinois University. I mean, just look who the president of SWIC is -- Georgia Costello. Name ring a bell? She was not qualified for the job, neither is Miles, but it hardly matters as we cannot stop them. Ask Tom Holbrook.
Be tough on this crime
I was deeply troubled by the recent assault of an 87-year old man in the restroom of a local fast-food restaurant. The alleged perpetrator was an 6' 7", 240-pound, 22-year old. This presents a nightmarish predatory scenario for all men, but especially as they grow older. I hope this bathroom bully gets exactly what he deserves to hopefully serve as a deterrent to others.
Rights abridged
Members of the armed forces fight for our rights that they don't fully enjoy. They don't have the First Amendment rights that others have, and when they enter a base's gates, their vehicles are subject to warrantless inspection. And with the passage of Illinois concealed carry, signs are being posted at Scott Air Force Base prohibiting weapons in buildings.
Junk food nation
It is easy to understand why our citizens are the fattest in the world when the return of Hostess snack cakes makes the front page. A large part of our population has a junk food addiction. And while they may feel it is no one's business but their own, it becomes my business when they cause everyone's health care premiums to soar because of the associated cost of obesity and diabetes. It is time we all face the facts on the majority of our medical problems and stop looking for that magic pill to cure all.
Find better photos
You can tell it's the All-Star break when the only photo that the BND staff can find of the Cards is a shot of some Redbirds in various stages of undress. A picture of Carlos Beltran with his pants around his ankles or Yadier Molina with his hands down the front of his pants is not my idea of a fitting action shot. You can do better.
Check the bathrooms
I recently ate at a Belleville restaurant and the men's restroom was dirty and the soap dispenser didn't work. Other Belleville restaurants have very clean restrooms. It would be a public service if the BND could do a survey on the cleanest restrooms in Belleville. There is no excuse for a filthy restroom, especially one with a soap dispenser that doesn't work. This means the employees are not washing their hands.
Residency at issue
So it seems everyone is focusing on the fact that Darron Suggs from the St. Clair County Probation Department was charged with Medicaid fraud. Has anyone noticed the U.S. attorney has his address as residing in East St Louis yet he is a trustee in Washington Park? Last time I checked, you had to live in the community to be a trustee in it.
Any excuse will do
Gas prices just rose 40 cents a gallon in one day. Once again OPEC, the oil companies, et al have stuck it to us. They say there might be a civil war in Egypt affecting oil flow through the Suez Canal, there might be problems in Iraq/Iran affecting the delivery of oil, etc. (I guess an asteroid might hit in the Saudi Arabia oil fields.) They always bet on bad things happening (before they actually do) in the oil market and rush to raise prices. When bad things don't happen they don't say they are sorry, but are very happy with their ill-gotten gains (at our expense) They real tragedy is that there's nothing we can do about the situation. Why don't they wait for bad things to happen before they gouge us?
Can't we clean up?
Is Belleville so depressed that it has to have kids come in from out of state to clean up the parks, etc.? I can think of many areas nearby that need it more than our city. To me, that is a slap in the face.
Distracted and driving
I was sad to read about the tragic accident recently involving the man riding his bike along Illinois 159. I also can't help but wonder how alert the driver of the vehicle was at the time. While I realize this may have been an unavoidable situation, I do notice a high percentage of drivers who talk on their phones when they should be giving 100 percent of their attention to the road and pedestrians and bikers. It is widely accepted that texting impairs driving ability, but talking on one's cellphone is also dangerous. A University of Utah study found that motorists who talk on handheld or hands-free cellular phones are as impaired as drunken drivers. I believe many accidents could be avoided if drivers would minimize distractions and focus on the task at hand.
Mixed-up priorities
I have lived in Belleville most of my 66 years. I have watched as the town has changed into a place of which I am no longer proud. What is the matter with the voters? We can't or won't afford a swimming pool or a fireworks display. These are things that much smaller towns do. Yet we should be so proud of the red shoe, the multi-million dollar park (the old Angler's Club ) and let's not forget Art on the Square. I'm sure our young children are thrilled. Mayor Mark Eckert and aldermen, have you even heard of the splash pads in Swansea and O'Fallon?
Border realities
I had to chuckle when I read Allan Miller's recent letter suggesting that the military could help protect our southern border from invasion. First, he underestimates the skills and knowledge required to be a highly-professional border patrol agent. Second, he's misinformed if he thinks members of today's dramatically downsized military are just doing KP at the mess hall or sitting around in the barracks shining their boots.
Good news missed
I read in another newspaper about two Southwestern Illinois College students winning a national contest and just wanted to congratulate them and the SWIC precision machining program. I guess success stories about local students are not important enough for the BND.
Change the fire board
Cahokia Fire Protection District board members continue to hurt the residents of Cahokia. They put in chiefs who are not qualified; it's nepotism at its finest. Low morale and lack of firefighters harms Cahokia. It's time to change that board along with the chiefs and officers on the Cahokia Volunteer Fire Department.
Can't be objective
Can you believe that Belleville hired two new attorneys and let them write their own contracts? Of course they wrote it so that they would receive a pension. The city should check into other attorneys who would like to have a part-time job that pays $100,000 a year without a pension, but first they would have to find one who was not part of the "good ol' boys" club.
Light up the night
For next year's Tour of Belleville I'd like to suggest that the sponsors make sure all those bicyclists have lights on their bicycles. Not so much for riding during the tour, but afterward when everybody is trying to ride home. I had several incidents in which I almost ran into small children on their bikes with their parents and you could not see them. So for everybody's safety sake, why don't participants be required to have lights on their bikes? I believe that is required by law when riding after dark.
Off to a rousing start
Let's see what the new mayor of New Athens has done in his short term. He had dismissed the lawyer for the town and appointed a relative of his. He has appointed his sister-in-law in charge of emergency coordinator with his wife assisting. He has let our treasurer spend $5,600 on new chairs for board members. This is the beginning of his short term. Wonder what he can all accomplish in his four-year term?
Retirement at risk
I am a retiree. I worked for the state 25 years. My retirement check is less than $25,000 a year. I want to know why the crooked, corrupt Illinois politicians past and present now want to reduce our pensions to make up for what they stole or failed to contribute to that system for so many years. If anybody needs to be paying anything, it's them. I'm 69 and they are talking about reducing my pension when I can least afford it. These people need to held accountable.
Lead by example
I am a fan of St. Clair County Chief Judge John Baricevic and I think he should be the first one to step up to the plate and take the drug test. Set the example and ask other judges to take the drug test. If they have nothing to hide, why be afraid?
Taxpayers fooled
The taxpayers in Belleville High School District 201 are fools. They allowed District 201 to sell Belleville West to Lindenwood University for $1. Now they allow District 201 to buy an administrative building for $474,000.
Broken promise
Years ago the director what's now St. Louis Downtown Airport made a commitment to the folks of St. Louis Gardens to keep the fence line cut. It's quite apparent for the last couple of years they've failed miserably of keeping that agreement. Recently I drove by and the grass was 2 or 3 feet high. It's a shame that we have this multi-million dollar corporation that continuously begs for money from the taxpayers yet won't cut the grass.
Welfare for the rich
Don't think I will ever understand why certain politicians want to cut food stamp funding while we are still in a recession, but continue subsidies for oil companies as they make record profits. Could it be that the kickbacks they receive from big oil means more to them than the people who put them in office?
Same old politics
I'm calling in regard of Ralph Hult being trustee on the Belleville Township board. Their party ran as independents and said they weren't going to be like everybody else, no hiring friends. His wife is an alderwoman. The very first appointment they make, they put her husband on the board. It's the same thing. They are no different than any other political party. People need to open their eyes.

We would have been unaware of Inax but for the Bidet_Seats page on TerryLove.com.
Until yesterday, so far as we know, the only Inax products that were sold in the U.S. were the two advanced toilet seats listed at http://www.easycarts.net/ecarts/terr...det_Seats.html. However, as we are planning to upgrade our toilet to a "washlet-type" toilet seat, we made a note to investigate Inax as a part of our itinerary when we were visiting Japan last month.
What we discovered was that Inax is definitely at the high end of the Japanese market, and has a six-floor prestige showroom (complete with a respected art gallery) at Ginza 1-chome in Tokyo (technically, Kyobashi), and its residential products are very, very expensive. We also discovered that Inax toilets are the only toilets installed at Narita and Haneda International Airports in the Tokyo area, at Chitose International Airport in Hokkaido, and at the Mercure Hotel in Sapporo where we stayed. Toto's former dominance of public facilities seens to have been significantly eroded. That was a surprise.
Now, it appears that Inax will be selling a much broader line of products in the United States, and today launched a new website, http://inax-usa.com/ to show them off. They include toilets with a "Double Vortex" flushing system very much like Toto's and a surface treatment of the toilet bowl porcelain very much like Toto's SanaGloss.
And they are expensive. Boy, howdy, are they expensive. But some of them are very pretty.

U.S. JOURNAL about Washington Avenue, the main shopping street of South Beach, the southernmost dozen or 15 blocks of Miami Beach. The area is dominated by elderly European-born Jews who have retired from the cities of the Northeast. Tells about their quarrelsome attitude toward clerks. This style of shopping is the result of severe budget restrictions and virtually no restrictions on their time. But Chaim Rose, who has worked with the elderly in Miami Beach for over 20 years says they are contentious with everybody. For several years there has been talk about redeveloping South Beach. This would be so strongly resisted by the present elderly citizens because they would have to be relocated, that it may have stopped the idea of redevelopment.

24:7 call set to be hospitals life-saver
11:30am Wednesday 18th December 2013 in News By Tarik Al Rasheed
PLANS to cut death rates by ensuring senior doctors and vital tests are available seven-days-a-week have been welcomed in Worcestershire.
The "radical" plans are being proposed by NHS England medical director, Sir Bruce Keogh, in a bid to combat a lack of resources and expertise identified as a reason behind why hospital death rates are significantly higher at weekends.
Research into more than 14 million admissions nationwide suggests the increased risk of mortality at the weekend could be as high as 11 per cent on a Saturday and 16 per cent on a Sunday.
Sir Bruce says the NHS must act urgently to provide a service fit for the 21st century and "undo more than 50 years of accumulated custom and practice that have failed to put the interests of patients first".
He is concerned that services currently "wind down" on a Friday afternoon, leaving patients waiting for diagnosis and treatment, which means that junior doctors "are clinically exposed and under-supported". He wants the changes in place within the next two years and warned clauses in consultants' contracts stating they cannot be forced to work at weekends could be removed. And chiefs at Worcestershire Royal Hospital have already backed the call for change.
Mark Wake, chief medical officer of the Worcestershire Acute Trust, said the proposals build on work already underway in the county. "The trust has already adopted a seven-day emergency model where there is an established benefit to patients, for example, in stroke and cardiac care," he said. "We now need to build on this so that all aspects of emergency care are networked and effective around the clock.
"We would also like to expand access to diagnostics and elective treatments at weekends."
Hospitals failing to comply could also be hit in the pocket for millions, with potential penalties of up to 2.5 per cent of their annual income.
Sir Bruce, meanwhile, has billed the case for change as clinically and morally "compelling", saying the whole health system, not just hospitals, must adapt.
"It seems inefficient that in many hospitals expensive diagnostic machines and laboratory equipment are underused at weekends, operating theatres lie fallow and clinics remain empty," he said. "This is not just about hospitals but the whole NHS system. One part cannot function efficiently at the weekend if other parts don't."

[NOTE: This behavior has been improved in After Effects CS5.]
When you export a FLV file with transparency/alpha from After Effects, the default setting in the Render Queue's Output Module sets the Alpha so it's premultiplied (matted) with the Composition's background color. However, the FLV format needs the alpha channel to be always premultiplied with black. As a result, the Flash authoring application can't handle the transparency information correctly, if the background color in the After Effects Composition is not black.
To avoid this behavior, set the "Color" pop-up in the Output Module to "Straight (unmatted)" before exporting to the FLV format.
Technically, the FLV encoder will get a straight alpha from After Effects and convert it so it's premultiplied and matted with black.
For more information on alpha channel types, see Alpha channel interpretation: premultiplied or straight in After Effects Help.
There's some more information about this issue in this blog post:
"Flash, FLV, and alpha channels: straight or premultiplied?"

Insecure Candidates: Chrome Wins Hacking Contest
At the CanSecWest Vancouver 2009 conference's PWN2OWN hacker's competition the Safari, Internet Explorer 8 and Firefox browsers were successfully hacked to run code on their systems. The Chrome browser was recognized as being the least impacted by the hackers.
The two-day PWN2OWN competition had but one goal: hacking an application as fast as possible to run code in it. The hacker contest is a feature of the annual CanSecWest conference, this year in Vancouver March 16-20, where standard PCs and Macs are subjected to vulnerabilities using the current version of the targeted software containing all the newest security updates. This year the hackers were to hack four fully patched browsers and five mobile devices. While the mobile devices remained "unscathed," almost all browsers failed the test in one way or another.
In less than 10 seconds Charlie Miller could open his MacBook with Safari and promptly won the $5,000 Zero Day Initiative prize. After jury members clicked a specially prepared link, Miller could control the system through an undocumented security hole.
Internet Explorer 8 was the next victim (ironically almost parallel to its official start in Las Vegas) to follow the MacBook pattern. A hacker named simply Nils used an undocumented vulnerability to control the Windows 7 subsystem and won another $5,00 prize from ZDI. He also exploited the first known security hole of IE8. Just earlier Microsoft's Dean Hachamovitch in his talk had praised the high security standards of IE8 with its Data Execution Prevention (DEP) and Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) protection technologies.
Twice again Nils pulled off victories. First was a Safari exploit that won him another $5,000. Secondly, the Firefox competition didn't escape his schadenfreude and he won another prize through a zero day exploit: altogether $15,000 for Nils.
Uncontested winner of the day was Google's Chrome browser, even though Charlie Miller did find a vulnerability that he later admitted his sandbox prevented him from carrying out. Details of the vulnerabilities unfortunately weren't given out: the TippingPoint DVLabs host of the conference pretty much buys the discretion of the hackers through its prize money, but will pass things on to the browser manufacturers.
OperaI would have liked to see how Opera stacked up in this contest. The Chrome vs. Opera argument is a vailid one.

My Email Digests
I'm seeking some feedback on issues with my wife and I (13 years this September) sex life. Basically she insists we have dry sex every week because she doesn't want to get pregnant again. We have 2 daughters 8 and 5 and the last one happened because the condom broke. If any sperm does get on her clothes or on her- she quickly changes her clothes or goes to the bathroom to wash it off saying it's gross. It does hurt my feelings some and tried to talk to her about it, but just don't understand what I'm missing. any help?
There are a lot of options for birth control.
It sounds like you are being accomodated on a regular basis, which doesn't sound exciting, but you are better off than many of us married men. In order or preference, love making, accomodation ( a distant second) and no sex (a distant third).
dry sex ~ at least some bottom articles of clothing remain on one or both sexual participants while they engage in the "motions" of sex (thrusting, etc) without actual penetration.
She was on the depo shot before we were married and that really screwed up her reproductive system for awhile into our marriage, and she is currently on birth control pill for medical purposes.
I understand that we are accomodating ourselves right now, but I'm tired of soiling the clothes all the time and using a condom under clothes just seems odd.
Does she realize just how extreme her behaviour appears? Or does she think this is "normal"? If she is so afraid of getting pregnant would she consider having her tubes tied and/or you getting a vasectomy? Honestly, I think that there is a real need for therapy here ... and it's not for you.
Good luck, Buddy! I wish you all the best!
Thanks for the ideas.
Thanks for the feedback.
I hope all is going well for the both of you? Have you had a chance to discuss this with your wife? I hope you have succeeded in getting her to go to counseling? I really do hope you guys can get back to having real, married type sex!!!
I wish you all the best!!!
Best Regargds
While stationed in Germany we took a tour to Paris. Despite the pill and a condom she became pregnant. At that point she refused sex. I got a vasectomy, but she decided sex would be a once every three months thing. I had open heart surgery followed by a stroke. Even though the doctors say I am healthy enough for sex she has refused for over eight years. I even had my vasectomy checked and the sperm count was zero. But she still refuses, blaming it on any thing she thinks of. I've suggested therapy, but she has excuses for not going.
HOWEVER, I would also question this. Is she in an indirect and passive way attempting to get YOU unsatisfied with the relationship... thereby placing the burden, and duty, to end it. In other words, if you know she is causing you emotional harm and pain, you must ask, "Why?" I am not saying this is the case, but it is a fair question to ask, particularly in therapy.

Update Recommended: Firefox 3.0.8
The Mozilla project has released version 3.0.8 of the web browser Firefox. The updated version is most noteworthy in that it rectifies prior security issues.
One such issue is that Firefox was previously prone to crashes due to manipulation via the XUL tree element
(MFSA 2009-13). With such browser crashes, the code could be accessed by third parties meaning ill-will and malicious code thus executed.
The other fixed breaches in security relate to the processing of certain XSL stylesheets
(MFSA 2009-12). These issues are also related to the possiblity of a crash and its accompanying susceptibility to malicious code. This problem point was also encountered by the mail browser suite Seamonkey, which was remedied with its updated version 1.1.16.
The new Firefox release is ready for download. Users still employing Firefox 2.0.0x are urged by the manufacturer to update their systems ASAP to 3.0.x, as the old line of development will no longer offer security updates.

Shaking the Family Tree
Blue Bloods, Black Sheep, and Other Obsessions of an Accidental Genealogist
As a historian, Buzzy Jackson thought she knew the answers to these simple questions—that is, until she took a look at her scrawny family tree. With a name like Jackson (the twentieth most common American surname), she knew she must have more relatives and more family history out there, somewhere. Her first visit to the Boulder Genealogy Society brought her more questions than answers . . . but it also gave her a tantalizing peek into the fascinating (and enormous) community of family-tree huggers and after-hours Alex Haleys.
In Shaking the Family Tree, Jackson dives headfirst into her family gene pool: flying cross-country to locate an ancient family graveyard, embarking on a weeklong genealogy Caribbean cruise, and even submitting her DNA for testing to try to find her Jacksons. And in the process of researching her own family lore (Who was Bullwhip Jackson?) she meets legions of other genealogy buffs who are as interesting as they are driven—from the boy who saved his allowance so he could order his great-grandfather's death certificate to the woman who spends her free time documenting the cemeteries of Colorado ghost towns.
Through Jackson's research she connects with distant relatives, traces her roots back more than 250 years and in the process comes to discover—genetically, historically, and emotionally—the true meaning of "family" for herself.

Ask Yourself Why You're Doing This; or, Genealogy for Beginners
Ask yourself why you're doing this."
Pat Roberts, a woman with a stylish haircut, some serious jewelry, and the no-nonsense voice of a high school guidance counselor, stared out at the group of strangers who'd shown up for the introduction-to-genealogy seminar that morning at the Boulder Public Library. I suddenly realized what was coming: just like that guidance counselor, this enigmatic gatekeeper was about to tell us whether our expectations were realistic or just plain ridiculous.
